Nice looking car, but out here in New Mexico with incessant sunshine, a car like that would leave a trail of blinded drivers who've crashed for lack of vision.

Great car (although I'm not the biggest fan of this paint job) and good story Dino! What kind of what did he have?

...Now wait a minute, isn't he parked on the wrong side of your roads?

Correct! He is indeed on the wrong side of the road.. On £100K a week, I don't think he cares...

He was wearing a RG Audemars Piguet of some form... Not sure which

Indeed...especially with such a piece (the timepiece, that is)!

Well, I like your Rolex, too!

I think Astons are 'okay' at best; I'd spend the money on a 458 Italia every day of the week plus twice on Sunday before I bought that (and that's before that paint job).

Nice watch.
Fugly car. Way to ruin a perfect good Aston Martin. Might as well put spinners and neon lights on it while he's at it.

This is what my brother-in-law tells me, but they are way too much form without enough function for my tastes. Again, the Ferrari is not only the most beautiful of all automobiles on the road, but the fastest, too!

In reality, I think you'd feel good getting into either one!

yes, nice to get a compliment

question (because I have no idea) what kind of player is Mr.Pennant? I mean is he average, just a guy, somewhat good, decent or is top of the line elite level....just curious as to the level of player that can sport around in such a nice ride?

I know of no major speed/lap/etc. records currently held by road going Ferraris. I'd MUCH rather own an Aston Martin V12 Vantage or McLaren MP412C, but as you said, I have no doubt it would feel good getting into any of the above.

He's premier league which is top in the country.. He's quite a good player, but not "one of the best" IMO
